What don't you get

how can anyone dislike Radiohead when those strings come in on ‘Reckoner’?

Arthur Russell

I can almost hear the knives being sharpened…

(Great thread idea btw - I’m sure I have other very unpopular opinions that I’ll share when I think of them)

This is the most DJH like thread I’ve seen since, well, DJH. Keep it going. :joy:

I personally never got neither Penguin Cafe Orchestra or Finis Africae. And it bugs me! I’ve WANTED to like them and I’ve TRIED to like them. But whenever I try to listen to either, I’m left completely blank.

I adore lush & long ambient & new age sounds, but dark monotonous drone doesn’t work for me. :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

I’m sure they’re all lovely, and it’s probably down to my own musical limitations, but I just don’t get Ezra Collective.

and risk losing my niche?!

In all seriousness: CD singles from 1997-2002. Most r&b from that time came with a UK Garage remix. If the vocals are a problem - for me they aren’t - sometimes you’ll find a dub mix. I had a really good haul just before Xmas where a guy on eBay was practically throwing away some interesting stuff, 20p a pop for weird and forgotten curios.
